Choosing the Right Metal Lathe
Selecting the correct lathe depends on the work you do. Key considerations include:

• Swing over bed — determines maximum diameter
• Distance between centres — determines maximum length
• Spindle bore — important for bar work
• Motor power and speed range — affects material removal rates
• Bed width and rigidity — influences accuracy and finish
• Tooling compatibility — ensures long‑term flexibility
  Our team can walk through these factors with you and match a machine to your workshop’s requirements.
